About Anomaly 2
✦ AI summary
Lead your convoy through a post-apocalyptic frozen wasteland, morphing your troops into powerful war mechs to overcome alien machine towers in this tactical tower-offense RTS. Anomaly 2 flips the script with a revolutionary multiplayer mode where you can play as either the attacking human force or the defending towers, creating a completely unique competitive experience.
All About Tower Offense vs. Tower Defense
Anomaly 2 is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Anomaly Warzone Earth. Maintaining the core elements of the original, Anomaly 2 adds new features to the single-player campaign and finally puts your skills to a test in a completely unique experience: the dynamic tower defense vs. tower offense multiplayer mode!
In the years following the invasion of Earth in 2018, the planet is overrun by alien machines. Humankind is on the verge of extinction. Banded together in huge convoys, they search the frozen tundra for food and supplies. Since the war, the roles have been reversed: now our species seems to be the Anomaly on a machine-controlled planet. Your convoy, Commander, is called Yukon.
Anomaly 2 takes the RTS tower-offense concept from Anomaly Warzone Earth to a new level. The core elements of the original – tactical planning and the on-field Commander to support troops in combat – are spiced up by a number of important new features.

Same as the first one, just prettier and with more toys. Sadly, the little infantryman is back :/1 found this helpful
Excellent. Just excellent. I remember my dad playing these games with me when I was a kid, and it still sticks. The reverse tower defense genre that 11bit thought of here is super innovative, and the graphics are advanced but not so advanced you need a whole-ass ASUS PC to play it. The morphing mechanic is always handy, so I don't need to constantly struggle with unit placement. Certainly a step up from Warzone Earth. 9/10.1 found this helpful
As a tower defense fan, I found Anomaly enjoyable at first, but it simply can't compete with the many better options available today. The content doesn't justify the price, and it lacks the depth and polish of modern tower defense games. Not recommended.
More good.
Over a decade later this game still holds up really well. The studio took all the things that made Anomaly: Warzone Earth fun to play, and took them even further. The soundtrack, voice acting and general storytelling are all way better than in the first game. Transforming units, new abilities, and even multiplayer mode where one player manages their towers and eco to defend a core (this is kind-of what the Anomaly Defenders spin-off game became). The main campaign can be completed in around 6-8 hours. I wish it was longer, but I also respect the team for not dragging things out too long. Every single mission has at least one new mechanic or unique gimmick that keeps you thinking. I feel like they covered pretty much every idea possible in this type of game. Give this a shot. No need to play the first game.
As long as you have buddy to play multiplayer, game is great. If not, get one from forums/social media.
